Serie A side Monza have appointed Salvatore Bocchetti as their new manager after sacking Alessandro Nesta on Monday.<\/b><\/p>\n
The club are at the bottom of the Serie A table with only one win in 17 matches this season and are five points from safety.<\/p>\n
Bocchetti’s only previous managerial experience came at Hellas Verona in 2022 when he lost all six games as their caretaker boss.<\/p>\n
The 38-year-old’s first match in charge of Monza will be on Saturday when they face Parma, who are five points ahead of them in 16th place.<\/p>\n
Former Italy defender Nesta saw Monza suffer a 2-1 defeat by Juventus on Sunday in what proved to be his final game in charge.<\/p>\n
Nesta, who played as a centre-back for clubs including AC Milan and Lazio, took over as the Monza boss before the start of the season.<\/p>\n
But his first managerial role in Serie A ended with Monza suffering their third consecutive defeat at the weekend, extending their winless run to nine matches.<\/p>\n
“The club thanks the coach for what he has done so far and wishes him the best for the future,” Monza said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Having won the 2006 World Cup with Italy, Nesta made his managerial debut with Miami FC in 2015 before stints with Italian lower division sides Perugia, Frosinone and Reggiana.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
